Notes
A few notes help make sure your Vodka Martini is the best. Use high-quality vodka for the best taste; it can make a huge difference. Try to chill your glass ahead of time, which will keep your drink cooler for longer. You can adjust the amount of vermouth to suit your taste—less gives a stronger vodka flavor, while more adds depth.
